September 15, 2023

Enhancements

General

2. Removed group and type sorting from the Zone List page.
3. Added the option to export the current grid data from the Engine Data Profile view.

Reporting

4. Improved the naming and navigation of some Tachograph modules, specifically Infringements and Reports.

Fixes

1. Fixed an issue that prevented truck speed limits from being updated.
2. Fixed the Satellite view not being visible on the Add/Edit/View Route pages.
3. Fixed an issue on the Exception page that caused speeding rules to not show the truck speed limit when truck speed limit is set to -1 (which is used to denote that truck speed = max speed).
4. Fixed an issue with the creation of EngineSyncCompliance diagnostics.

September 8, 2023

Enhancements

Built-in asset groups

1. Added Container and Equipment asset group types (in addition to Vehicle and Trailer).

Reporting

1. Added back-end indexing to trips, which improves the performance of the Vehicle Utilization Report.
2. Removed the Sub-period option from reports where that option is not applicable or doesn’t add value, in particular the EV Charging Report.

Fixes

1. Fixed a Drive App issue where trailers were sometimes not correctly classified as trailer objects, which could cause syncing errors.
2. Fixed an issue with the Share asset location feature that would prevent users from zooming in or panning around the map.
3. Fixed some fields on the Device Status page (such as GPS data) incorrectly showing the current datetime when the actual last reported datetime is missing.

API

1. Fixed an error when retrieving DutyStatusLogs for all drivers.

September 1, 2023

Fixes

1. Re-added the barcode scanning feature, which was temporarily removed due to a security vulnerability.
2. Fixed an issue that caused information to be missing from Maintenance Reminder emails.
3. Add-Ins under the same primary grouping are now sorted by name. They were previously sorted by the order in which they loaded, which appeared random and was not useful to users.
4. Fixed an issue with interactive reports where, when going from a company group to a subgroup, the interactive reports would incorrectly display the company group assets instead of the subgroup’s assets.

August 25, 2023

Enhancements

Reporting

1. Added a toggle to the Trips Summary Report options that allows users to choose whether or not to include 0-distance trips in the report.
2. Added a group filtering component to the Customer Visits Report (currently in Feature Preview/Experimental Feature mode).

Fixes

August 18, 2023

Enhancements

Rules

1. Added a message to all rules that include a zone type element (such as Fleet Idling, Vehicle Movement Within Zones, and so on), reminding users to ensure that the selected zone type has zones associated with it. (If a zone type has no zones associated with it, no exceptions can be generated.)

Reporting

2. For clarity, we renamed some elements in the Planned vs. actual route report page: "define stop offset" is now "define arrival window", and "stop offset" is now "arrival window".

Fixes

1. Fixed an issue where misconfigured Add-Ins could sometimes prevent users from logging out of the Drive App.
2. Fixed a hardware caching issue that could sometimes result in drivers being automatically assigned to archived (historical) vehicles.
3. Fixed issues with French translations in the Drive App's ELD transfer PDF.
4. Fixed an issue where, when a user registers a database on certain servers, an invalid session error would incorrectly appear, despite the database being created successfully.
5. Fixed the Device Status page showing no data for offline or non-communicating devices when the DEVICE_UPTIME custom code is used.
6. Fixed the Maintenance Backlog widget not applying group filtering at the device level, which could result in incorrect counts/values being displayed in the widget.
7. Fixed IFTA reports incorrectly including trailers when all vehicles are selected.
8. Fixed some display bugs related to the main menu and submenu: hovering over a main menu item no longer changes the opacity of the icon, and clicking a submenu icon now hides the help tooltip that appears when hovering over it.
9. Fixed the Maintenance Reminder page returning incomplete search results when filtering by groups in some scenarios.

August 11, 2023

Enhancements

General

1. Imported shapefiles now have their road length represented in kilometers instead of meters. This is meant to align shapefile distances with the units that are used for exception events.

Reporting

2. For performance reasons, fuel usage columns (Fuel Used and Fuel Economy) have been removed from the default Risk Management report. However, those columns can now be added to your custom Risk Management report templates.

Maintenance Center

3. The Maintenance Bulk Import process now ignores letter casing. This is a quality of life change that should reduce the amount of errors and failed uploads - for example, previously, an upload for maintenance type “Oil change” would fail if the existing maintenance type had a capital C in “Oil Change”.

Navigation

1. Added new icons to the new Navigation workflow, which is currently in Feature Preview/Experimental Feature mode.

Fixes

1. Fixed some issues with the Conditions builder that occurred when the USE_COMPLEX_TREE flag was enabled.
2. Fixed database registration emails showing DNS name instead of server URL.
3. Fixed an issue where route completion lines could sometimes disappear and reappear when panning around the map, or when zooming in and out.
4. Fixed an issue with group filtering that could sometimes occur when generating a Risk Management report.
5. Made several fixes and usability improvements to the Bulk Import workflow.
6. On mobile devices, fixed bulk actions appearing twice when a user selects and deselects the same asset.
7. Fixed an issue where Drive App users would have to enter their credentials twice after updating from version 8.0 to 11.0.
8. Fixed an issue where API calls made with users that only have the View trailers and Administer trailers permissions would incorrectly return both tracked and untracked assets (instead of only untracked assets).
9. Made performance improvements to the Unidentified Logs page.

August 4, 2023

Enhancements

General

1. Added Malay language support.

Assets

1. Offline devices on the Assets page now show potential reasons for loss of connectivity. The Possible issues are displayed on the Device Status page, and include:

   2. Device rate plan suspended
   3. Low asset battery
   4. Possible loose device installation
   5. Replaced device
   6. Unknown reason

Notifications

1. Added new, more detailed, notification tokens related to asset inspection to help fleet managers follow up and take appropriate action based on the type of DVIR that was created. The new tokens are available in Notification Templates > Add email template, and are as follows:
2. 1. Asset Inspection Defect
   2. Asset Inspection Defect Remark
   3. Asset Inspection Driver Remark
2. Users can now dismiss notifications from the list view. Previously, users had to open a notification to dismiss it, which could be slow to load for customers with large numbers of messages.

Fixes

1. Fixed an issue where additional clearances (other than View dashboard) were incorrectly required to view the Dashboard page.
2. Fixed an issue that caused Route segments to have distorted/jagged edges, particularly for narrower segments.
3. Fixed an issue where the counts shown on slices of the Maintenance Type chart would be different than the counts shown on the Maintenance Records page.
4. Fixed the map zooming out when adding a new zone.
5. Fixed an issue that caused the EventType column to not be included in Event History reports.
6. Fixed an issue where, in rare cases, logs could be incorrectly assigned to a driver who was not assigned to a vehicle.

2. Made several bug fixes and improvements to the Seat Belt Violations interactive report.
3. Fixed an issue where verified logs would sometimes be shown as unverified when viewed from a different time zone.
4. Fixed an issue where trailer asset inspections would not appear on the DVIR screen if they were created while the driver was on-duty.

API

1. Added API support for EmissionVehicleCycle and EmissionVehicleCycleMessage to facilitate the California Air Resource Board’s (CARB) Emission Reporting Service.
2. Added GetRegions and GetLanguages methods that return labels and values for regions and languages, respectively.
